Dimple Surgery

To perform the surgery the doctor would use the local anesthesia and a biopsy instrument to create a whole in the skin to manually make a dimple. Once the doctor makes room for the future dimple, then he positions a stitch from one side of the cheek muscle to the other. The stitch is then tied to put the dimple permanently in order.
Dimple surgery is performed using local anesthesia and it takes around 30 to 45 minutes to perform. For the dimple surgery, a small incision is made through the mucous membrane inside the mouth. Then the skin and muscle on the spot of the incision are scratched off. An absorbable suture then stitches the two different areas of the skin and muscle around the cut. When the two areas stick, an artificial dimple is created. After healing they both stick permanently. The dimple remains permanently on the cheek and it takes a week or two for the affected part to heal. The scarring is complete once they heal up. Then the muscles and skin stick with each other causing dimples. For the initial few days of the surgery you may experience discomfort, the muscles heal quickly and there are little chances of infection.

Time For Surgery

There are no medical prerequisites for the surgery, you can go for the surgery at any time of your choosing. The surgery is simple and you do not need any post-surgery hospital treatment apart from prescribed medications.

Enhancing Facial Aesthetics: Dimples are often associated with youthfulness and beauty, adding charm and character to the face. Dimple creation surgery can enhance the overall aesthetics of the face by creating well-defined dimples that complement the natural features.

Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem: Many individuals view dimples as an attractive facial feature and desire to have them. By undergoing dimple creation surgery, patients can achieve the facial feature they desire, leading to increased confidence and self-esteem.

Surgeons carefully consider factors such as facial anatomy and patient preferences to achieve aesthetically pleasing results that appear harmonious with the overall facial structure.

Dimple Creation Surgery Procedure

Dimple creation surgery, or dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to create natural-looking dimples on the cheeks or chin. The surgical technique involves several key steps:

Patient Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation between the patient and the plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, discusses the desired outcome, and explains the surgical technique. The patient’s goals, expectations, and medical history are also reviewed to ensure candidacy for the procedure.

Anesthesia: Dimple creation surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia to numb the treatment area and minimize discomfort during the procedure. In some cases, sedation may be administered to ensure patient comfort.

Incision Placement: The surgeon carefully selects the optimal location for the dimples based on the patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcome. Small incisions are made on the inside of the cheek or chin, where they will be inconspicuous once healed.

Creation of Dimples: Using specialized surgical instruments, the surgeon creates small tunnels or depressions in the underlying facial muscles. These tunnels are then secured with dissolvable sutures, which create the desired dimple effect when the patient smiles.

Closure: Once the dimples are created, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures to promote proper healing and minimize scarring. The surgeon may apply dressings or bandages to protect the treatment area and provide support during the initial healing phase.

Postoperative Care: Following dimple creation surgery, patients are provided with detailed postoperative instructions to facilitate optimal healing and recovery. This may include guidelines for pain management, wound care, and activity restrictions. Patients are advised to attend follow-up appointments to monitor their progress and address any concerns.

Overall, dimple creation surgery is a safe and effective procedure that can enhance facial aesthetics and boost self-confidence. With proper surgical technique and postoperative care, patients can achieve natural-looking dimples that complement their unique facial features.

Who should abstain from the surgery?

People who have bleeding disorders and other diseases like diabetes mellitus or anemia etc should avoid the surgery otherwise almost everybody is eligible for the surgery.

Side Effects Related to the Surgery

  • Pain And Swelling
  • Infection
  • Formation Of Pus
  • However, the chances of the side effects are extremely low because of the minimal amount of incision needed. The complications can be prevented by using oral hygiene post-treatment.

    Post-treatment Precautions

    To prevent infection you should use antiseptic mouthwash every day as recommended by the doctor along with prescribed medicines. You should restrain from activities such as making animated facial expressions or activities. This will weaken your cheek muscle and lead to considerable recovery time. It is important to follow the doctor’s advice.

    Recovery Time

    The recovery process following dimple creation surgery is relatively straightforward, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a few days to a week. However, it is essential to follow the surgeon’s postoperative instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications. Key aspects of the recovery process include:

    Initial Healing: In the days immediately following surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treatment area. This is normal and typically resolves within a week or two as the body heals.

    Pain Management: Patients are provided with pain medication to manage any discomfort during the initial stages of recovery. It is essential to take these medications as directed and avoid overexertion to prevent unnecessary strain on the surgical site.

    Wound Care: Patients should follow the surgeon’s instructions for wound care, which may include keeping the incision sites clean and dry, applying topical ointments or antibiotics as prescribed, and avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.

    Activity Restrictions: While recovery times may vary, patients are generally advised to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for at least a week following surgery. This helps prevent excessive strain on the surgical site and promotes proper healing.

    Follow-Up Appointments: Patients are scheduled for follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor their progress and ensure that the incisions are healing properly. During these appointments, any concerns or questions can be addressed, and the surgeon can provide guidance on returning to normal activities.

    • I got a three molars removed from Dr Anurag Bhargav. The surgery was performed in around 30-40 minutes for all the molars. The surgery was performed really well and I had a good experience. After the surgery, I experienced pain for around a week, but the painkillers prescribed really helped. I was satisfied with the quality of surgery and the medical staff at the clinic were also very courteous. They followed up a couple of days after the surgery to take feedback and remind me of the steps needed to heal faster. Overall, I would recommend Dr Anurag Bhargav for teeth extraction. Thank you.
